Description

This script is for simulate the torsion spring, with the rotor.

How to use it ?

1.Paste this script in the PB.
2.Write "spring" in the custom data of the rotor, that you want to be a torsion spring.
3.Wait for a while. Or press "Recompile" button of the PB.
4.Change the variable of the custom data in the rotor.

Variables

BaseTorque : The rotor always has torque of this value.
TargetAngle : The rotor will try to return to this angle. This value is degree.
SpringConstant : As the angle difference from TargetAngle increases, the torque of the rotor increases according to this value.
Kp Ki Kd : PID gain. It affects the speed with which the rotor returns to the TargetAngle.

What exactly is Kp, Ki, Kd, and PID? More info please and thanks!

I would love a piston spring but not sure it is even possible, at least not like this.

any piston spring scripts?

@MedvePapus: In the first video, Sunoko comments they may need to increase base torque on their example design, which is constantly bouncing.

@Blitz: Probably easier to just use one of the leveller scripts. Pesticide has some fairly lightweight ones. Gravity Aligner and Leveller.

@the young biker: Probably want to use Whiplash's Subgrid Wheel control script. Subgrids will never work perfectly like a single grid with wheels, but that script does an excellent job as far as it can.
